About this episode
Tennille Jenkins is a content creator and co-founder of the popular and long-running blog The Tennille Life . She studied interior architecture and design in college and started her career as an interior designer before spending several years as a stay-at-home mom with her two daughters. At age 30, she began to consider returning to the workforce and unexpectedly landed a job as a corporate flight attendant with the prestigious private flight company Clay Lacy Aviation. She eventually met Magic Johnson and became his private flight attendant for over eight years. In 2016, craving a creative outlet, she started a blog and Instagram account called The Tennille Life . It was there where she documented her style, travel adventures, and thoughts on aging, confidence, beauty over age 40, and more. By 2020, she’d built a significant following and realized that the time was right for her to make another career leap. So, she left her flight attendant position and became a full-time content creator. Over the last five years, she’s grown her audience to over 317,000 followers and has worked with brands like Nordstrom, Shiseido, La Mer, Estée Lauder, Summer Fridays, RoC, Tata Harper, and many more.
